Pippa Middleton arrived at St. George’s Chapel for Saturday’s royal wedding in a $695 green-and-pink floral dress by British brand The Fold.

But while her look fit right in with the ceremony’s unofficial color palette — both Queen Elizabeth II and Meghan Markle’s mother, Doria Ragland, also wore shades of green — Middleton, 34, is drawing some rather uncanny comparisons on social media, due to her dress’s striking resemblance to a container of Arizona iced tea.

Comparisons have been drawn between the wedding dresses of Princess Mary of Denmark and the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle.

It might not be long since the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex happened but Mary, Crown Princess of Denmark is returning top results in Google. Why? Well, not a small handful of commentators have noted its similarity to the Duchess of Cambridge’s custom Givenchy gown, designed by Clare Waight Keller and ooh-ed over by billions of people yesterday.

But let’s not go crying copycat in too quick of a hurry. Firstly, Clare Waight Keller certainly would have been aware of iconic royal wedding dresses throughout history when she went to work on the gown and then would have worked around Markle herself; her taste, her shape, melding it with her own sensibilities honed at Calvin Klein, Gucci, Chloé and now Givenchy.

It is not an accusation, and nor should it be. Those well-versed in royal, and indeed fashion, -history should know that appropriation is an inevitability and originality near-impossible. What is fresh, and what has been executed here with a contemporary flavor, is a timeless dress, matched with the accessories that ground her look in her specific context. The veil, reflecting the 53 Commonwealth countries in hand-embroidered flora, the tiara a gesture from the Queen and a tie to British Royal History, the shape, a nod to a silhouette favored by Hubert de Givenchy’s during the decade of the French house’s founding nearing 70 years ago.

If we were to nitpick, Mary’s was off-white, duchesse satin, with cascading ruffles and panelled lace underlay by Danish designer Uffe Frank. Markle’s was a brighter lily white, with no lace and no ruffles. The Crown Princess of Denmark’s neckline has a slight scoop, rather than straighter bateau as in Markle’s, again though, if we’re being fussy.

A bateau neckline? Nothing new. White silk? Certainly not. But that it was tailored and tweaked to suit Markle personally, paired with the right accessories and a complementary veil by an experienced tastemaker in Clare Weight Keller make it envy-inducing. Comments that she won’t be setting trends will most definitely be proved wrong – trends don’t have to be new (can you say ‘florals’?). Dressmakers underestimating the power and visibility of the Royal wedding will be caught short. It isn’t that it’s groundbreaking, it is alluring because it is in fact so enduring, and simple styles in fashion are those that do not suffer being dated. “The dress epitomises a timeless minimal elegance referencing the codes of the iconic House of Givenchy,” as Kensington Palace described. “The slim three-quarter sleeves add a note of refined modernity.” We tend to agree.

Sure, you might say the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle was entirely about “love” and “bringing the nation together”. NO. WRONG. It was entirely about who wore what (and which of Harry’s ex girlfriends would show up, and will anyone make a supreme, global embarrassment of themselves by sitting in the wrong seat).

I’m here to help you with the who wore what, because if you were anything like me last night you were 40 sheets to the wind on Pimm’s and screaming at that lovely but delusional bishop to shut the fuck up, so you probably missed all the good shit. Here we go.

Just quietly I don’t know shit about the royals or their fancy-pants socialite mates, but this is apparently Fiona Shackleton and she looks DAMN good. I mean yes, it’s all extremely matchy-matchy but old folks like to do that shit and if you’re gonna match your entire ensemble, at least make it in an array of complementary shades like Fiona has.

These people didn’t get names on Getty and ceebs googling, but I really like this tea dress. The pattern is beaut, the shape is extremely flattering and her hat is only mildly offensive.

Not everyone will agree with me here but sue me – I’ve got a bit of a Marie Antoinette obsession and the velvet/ruffle vibe is doing it for me here. Love the colour, love that it’s a bit of a point of difference, choosing to purposely ignore the mollusc fascinator.

The fascinator was one of my most hated, but the dress is one of my faves. Yeah, yeah – it’s basically a Realisation Par/Auguste The Label frock but I love both of those brands. Quick tip – if you’re even hating the fuck out of your body (stop that but also it bloody happens sometimes to the lot of us) and you have to go to something fancy, buy a wrap dress. They NEVER FAIL YOU. This gal probably ate 4 Big Macs last night because her boyfriend was being a fuckhead and she also had a serious case of PMS, but you wouldn’t know it bc THE WRAP DRESS FORGIVES ALL. I’m serious.

GUYS I totally forgot about Carey Mulligan and Marcus Mumford, and their cute romantic story about how they were childhood besties who fell in love as adults. Anyway, that aside they both look smokin’ here – love the long coat (tails? haha who cares!) on Marcus and Carrie’s tea dress is the best of all the (numerous) wedding tea dresses we saw.

Petition for Tom Hardy to NEVER SHAVE HIS HEAD AGAIN, I barely recognised His Royal Hotness sans hair, but also mad props to his wife for killing the fashion game with that dress and – dare I say it – that hat. It’s zesty but appropriate, I love it.

I mean, it’s Posh and Becks. You knew she was going to show up in some insanely structured, bordering-on-office-wear outfit that should be boring but instead is amazing, and he was going to look like a snack in a v. British suit, and that’s exactly what they did.

My MVP, my MVP, my MVP. Gina Torres – one of Meghan’s co-stars on Suits, had the best dress, the best hat, the best everything. Okay, slightly less points bc the hat is essentially an oversized fedora but given there were so many that were worse, she’s forgiven. And THE DRESS. That colour? The sheer! The pattern! Dead.

Is Amal even human? She’s not, right. She’s like the Second Coming of Christ and we are all oblivious to it. Like you can’t be THAT good a human and THAT smart and THAT beautiful and also be well dressed. Something is going on.

Is it just me or do you get a little evil tingle in your heart about Harry’s two most important exes (this is Cressida Bonas, btw) going to his wedding? Idk, it’s gross but I get the tingle. Anyway, this is how you show up to your ex’s wedding – you look hot, but not TOO hot, and you absolutely wear the zestiest outfit you own bc if you start crying later, everyone will be distracted by the pattern on your dress.

This lady is called Lady Kitty Spencer, and god knows why the Brits insist on stupid children’s names well into adulthood – see also “Bunny”, “RoRo” and “Willy”. Anyway, I hate the material of this dress but for some reason – maybe it’s the great hat, maybe it’s the fantastic accessories… I like it?

Look at these women all together and they’re a vision. Look separately and only navy dress (one of my fave looks btw) and floral dress are killing it. I don’t even like Priyanka Chopra’s suit thing. But together – magnifique.

I’m such a sucker for vintage 60’s and 70’s vibes, and this dress has that in spades. Plus I like the shoes even though they’re a bit strange.

Old British folk love these weird suit-coat-dresses, and apparently Kate Middleton’s mum is one of those folks. I’m generally not a fan of the style but she works it well with all the matchy-matchy. Like I said, the old people love the matchy-matchy!

Serena looked SO good except for her dumb hat thing. But SO FUCKING GOOD OTHERWISE, right?

I’m obsessed with this green dress but I’m horrified by those white sunglasses. WHY ARE YOU WEARING SUNGLASSES AT A ROYAL WEDDING MATE.

Who bloody knew Patrick J. Adams from Suits was married to PLL’s Troian Bellisario? Not bloody me! Troian looks a bit beige (well, she is wearing entirely beige) but IDK, maybe it’s the fringe teamed with the dress giving it serious Jackie O 60’s vibes but I’m into it.

This hat needs to be binned but goddamn how good is maroon. Burgundy? Whatever, the deep wine-red shade spectrum, all v good. Also – THOSE SHOES.

LIZ. Fucking Queen Lizzie. I mean she has her style niche and she just sticks with it – wool coat, court shoes, expensive handbag, gloves. I might be the only one who likes lime green on Our Queen but fuck it guys, she’s like 500 years old and she can still work fluoro? Give that woman a fashion medal.

The same sunny days roll around every year, but the debate on what to wear is always a new one. In search of some much needed inspiration, we tapped influencer Lauren Johnson of @Discodaydream for her sartorial expertise. As an entrepreneur, mother, and California native, she knows what’s up when it comes to summer dressing. Plus, she’s always decked in looks that make us want to ditch our current wardrobe and start fresh. Case in point: five outfits (and her tips on how to style them), for the season.

TO A TROPICAL ISLAND

They say packing for vacation is easy (‘just throw a bikini in a bag!’), but it can be tough to find the right cover-up! A maxi dress with smart side ties allows you to wear it loose for the beach, then cinch it in for drinks at night. And don’t forget footwear. A pair of chunky white slides is both chic and comfortable. To really elevate a plain white dress, add the season’s most on-trend accessory: a basket bag. This piece is updated with a long strap.

“This dress is a versatile day-to-night piece that won’t take up valuable real estate in a suitcase.”

TO A MUSIC FESTIVAL

If contemplating another pair of denim shorts and a flower crown has you stifling a yawn, think about pairing a crop top bearing a cool back detail with printed pants, metallic-accented slides, and on-trend cat eye sunglasses. Pants are comfy and will keep you warm when the weather cools down, and a print feels fresher than suede fringing. “These pants are really comfortable and breezy, which is perfect for long days spent outside in hot summer temperatures,” says Johnson.

If you’re looking to expand your wardrobe repertoire, try the ultimate in outfit hybrids: the jumpsuit. It’s an easy one-stop-shop that is both practical and pretty, especially in white lace with statement shoulders and a cute tie. “Wearing a romper for a weekend hangout is the perfect mix of form and function,” says Johnson.” I love the feminine ruffles on this one, and the shorts allow for maximum comfort and movement.” To keep it fashion-forward, wear with gingham flatforms and sling a denim jacket over your shoulder.

There’s a reason dresses are a closet staple—they always look great, with minimal effort required. This printed wraparound number, for example, is dressy enough for cocktails with a pair of higher heels, and cool enough for a pool party when worn with slides. Finish off your look with the perfect summer beauty accents: a pinkish-gold bronzer, nude lipgloss and a spritz of your favorite fragrance.

“My summer uniform is normally a mini dress, so this is the perfect flirty party look.”

TO A WEDDING

You don’t want to outshine the bride, but a maxi dress in marigold yellow is special and standout. Skip the florals and look for a dress with interesting details—a crossover back, keyhole cutout, and pleating. The key to keeping it cool is in the accessories: Try metallic shoes with interesting details. “Pairing this dress with gold block heels plays up the warm color and keeps the look fun,” Johnson adds.

Although you might have your favourite go-to labels that serve you well for most of the year, when it comes to picking pieces for your upcoming holidays, it can be a bit more tricky. So, we have rounded up our favourite brands that constantly deliver in keeping us as well dressed as possible during our travels. From swimwear to frocks, accessories to cover-ups, here are the labels we can’t get enough of.

A post shared by ZIMMERMANN (@zimmermann) on May 7, 2018 at 7:51pm PDT

Australian favourite Zimmermann might be an all-year round wardrobe saviour, but its summer selection is particularly covetable. From floral separates to floaty dresses and excellent swimwear, it is the label to have on your radar if you are headed to the beach this season.

Loved by the likes of Kourtney Kardashian and Lucy Williams, there’s no telling how popular swim and resort brand She Made Me will become this summer. The label – which was founded by designer Chloé Dunlop – creates particularly great crochet pieces including dresses and bikinis.

If it’s some new swimwear you’re in the market for, we suggest you make a beeline for New York-based label Solid & Striped. All about simplicity and elegant one-pieces and bikinis, it’s little surprise that the brand has become such a favourite amongst supermodels.

Another of our favourite swimwear labels is Hunza G – a brand first launched back in 1984 which resurfaced a few summers ago and has fast become known for its trademark ‘crinkle’ swimwear which is made from a super stretchy seersucker fabric. All bikinis and swimsuits come in one size and fit to your frame.

Super chic label Cult Gaia might be most famous for its bamboo clutch (that has been seen all over the front rows) but the brand actually has a seriously covetable ready-to-wear and footwear selection too. Striking accessories, fashion-forward separates and breezy dresses will make for the most elegant of summer wardrobes.

From beautiful ruffled dresses to perfect flouncy tops, Caroline Constas is a name to know for pretty, floaty summer fashion. The US-based label is inspired by hot summers on the Greek isles – and the pieces could not be more ideal for wearing there.

A post shared by SIR The Label (@sir_thelabel) on Apr 28, 2018 at 3:40pm PDT

Impossibly cool brand Sir The Label is not technically just for your holiday needs but the lightweight dresses, crochet skirts and minimalist blouses make it very holiday-packing appropriate. The even better news is that the Australian label is extremely affordable.

Once just a scarf brand, Athena Procopiou has since evolved into one of the most covetable holiday labels of the moment, now selling everything from kaftans and swimwear to dresses and kimonos. While perfect for the beach, models including Shanina Shaik have taken the brand’s frocks into the city – and we will be following suit.

A post shared by Matteau (@matteau.swim) on Mar 20, 2018 at 3:15pm PDT

Matteau is a luxury swim and resort label aiming to create pieces that transcend trends and can be worn holiday after holiday, year after year. From simple colour-block bikinis to chic and shirty cover-ups, head here if you like to keep it minimal and want to invest in your future vacation wardrobe.

If minimal is not your thing though and you prefer to opt for something a bit different when it comes to your swimwear, we suggest turning to Made By Dawn, whose colourful, ruffled swimsuits and bikinis make the ultimate feminine statement on the beach.

A post shared by K A L I T A (@kalitaofficial) on May 7, 2017 at 1:39am PDT

Want to breathe life into your cover-up wardrobe? Kalita is a brand to have on your radar when it comes to versatile summer dresses. Whether thrown on over your swimsuit or dressed up in the evening, the instantly recognisable, oversized cotton dresses are a true favourite among fashion editors.

13LoveShackFancy

For carefree boho-inspired frocks and separates that you can be sure to make a statement in, check out New York City-based LoveShackFancy. Favoured by plenty of fashion influencers on their jaunts abroad, this is an Instagram-approved label.

With every single piece handmade by artisans in Bali, Cloe Cassandro’s label is one that you can trust knows a thing or two about dressing for the heat. The current edit includes adorable co-ords, printed dresses and beautiful sheer kaftans that are all made ethically.

One of our favourite places to pick up a chic holiday frock is Dodo Bar Or – a label founded by Israeli actress Dorit Bar Or. Inspired by the Middle East, the pieces are truly something different for your vacation wardrobe and will effortlessly take you from day to night.
